Each time I'm in this neighborhood I always tell myself I'll branch out to try something beyond the white egg tart, but they're so nice I always fail Tiny spot, lines can get long so be ready to order (cash is still easiest), everything in the display cases looks & smells delicious. Pop in, pick a few items - you can't go wrong!
I followed the hype and the long lines and they did not disappoint!!! Yummy Bakery and Cafe is located in SF Chinatown offa Jackson + Kearny. Widely known for their pineapple buns and egg tarts, this bakery offers that and so much more. Do be advised to come readily prepared for the ordering part. While the lines may look endless, they move quick thanks to the staff and considerate patrons. There is no seating available so buy your goods and go. Extra points because Yummy Bakery offers egg tarts made of eggs whites. While I honestly wasn't too interested in this version, I took the opportunity to give it a taste test because it was available. This item tastes more milky leaving you with a slight void of the creamy custard-y aspect you normally would find with the traditional egg tart made of whole eggs. Great option if you were looking for something slightly healthier but it wasn't for me. Ter's Must Have Items: * BAKED CHAR SIU BAO * PINEAPPLE BUN * TRADITIONAL EGG TART * PAPER CUP CAKE 4/5 stars. My purchases always fresh and tasty. This bakery is definitely worth visiting while you are visiting Chinatown.
I think this is not the same business anymore. The famous egg white tart has a thick pie crust instead of the traditional flaky crust! Egg whites are rubbery! I also got the raisin and walnut bread. There were hardly any raisins and walnuts!! Very disappointed and won't go back!!
I was in search for some bunnies in San Francisco during Easter. When I say bunnies I mean getting more than one type of buns. This search has lead me to a place where you will find all types of yummy buns. Inside you will find buns like the cream bun, custard bun, green tea red bean bun, pineapple bun , and cheese mushrooms buns which they get flakey like some in SF. People line up to taste and grab these buns in San Francisco along with others buns and some not too sweet treats. It's located in San Francisco Chinatown and it's called Yummy Bakery & Cafe. On a Spring stroll in San Francisco's Chinatown on Jackson street and I was looking for some Yummy buns. Inside there are pastries which are both on the sweet and savory side. Although Yummy Bakery& Cafe is known for it's egg tarts and moon cake I wanted to try there different types of buns. I got the garlic buns and it was savory and tasty. If you are a garlic lover these buns are for made for you. The buns had a garlicky taste and were soft. They also had a blueberry cheese bun which was a bit cheesy and flakey like some in SF. They also have Japanese cheesecake available. If you want to order a dozen of buns also known as bunnies ask for the purple box. Went on a Spring stroll on Easter weekend in the city and the day was "sunny" to a place which has tasty crusty and flakey pastries that after over two days after baked can get "crumby" in SF and they had lots of buns here during the Easter weekend and I ain't talking about the "Easter bunny" this bakery got delicious baked goods all four season and it's called " Yummy" Inside you find baked bunnies and other dessert goods that's "Chinese" and some that are done Hong Kong style which is "Cantonese" and they even got dessert like cheesecake that's "Japanese "made with real "cheese"
Great service and very delicious bbq pork buns. I showed up and they had just sold out. The clerk asked me how many I wanted and was willing to bake me a fresh batch of 12. I waited and she baked me a dozen fresh just before there closing time. Definitely will be returning here. Its a small bakery in China Town SF surrounded by lots of local businesses and restaurants.
I ordered 86 white egg tarts for a company event and they were on time for the pick up. They tasted really good even though it was a large batch order. Still crispy on the crust and warm in the middle. It's a small shop and usually only 1 staff to help but worth the wait!
Super friendly staff here and seems like a lot of locals come here daily too. Prices are very fair here and better than most places for your classic chinese baked goods. I liked their pineapple bbq pork bun and custard bun. It was fresh and soft with a good amount of filling inside them. It's a small bakery, so it can feel a little cramped inside when groups come in at the same time. Definitely a good bakery to stop in if you're in Chinatown and don't want to venture to stockton street bakeries where it can get even more hectic during the day.
This is one of my favorite bakeries in Chinatown. Yummy, true to the store's name, is very yummy. Good buns and tarts. Tonight's haul was sponge cake $2.75, BBQ pork bun $2.75 and a pineapple BBQ bun $3. There were only a few people ahead of me.
I got two egg tarts (both yellow), pork floss bread, and a blueberry cheese bread (not pictured). I think I would've liked a bit of sweetness in the blueberry cheese bread while the pork floss was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think the egg tarts were ok (I'm used to them being somewhat sweet) but their eggy flavored was just a little overpowering. Honey was a good substitute to add sweetness. The service was fast and ambiance of the place was a small mom and pop grab n go.
This is a bakery that my colleagues and I often frequent for a snack break. I have to say it is a hit or miss depending on what pastry you get. My favorites would be the Pineapple Bun and Corn & Cheese Bun. Corn & Cheese must be one of the more popular buns because in the afternoon, they're all sold out. Some of the misses include the Chestnut Bun (which has no filling and no distinctive taste to the bread) and Sesame Bun (which does have black sesame filling, just not one of my favorites). This place accepts cash, Venmo, and card (with an additional fee for CC). The typically price per bun is $2.50-$4. They also sell sponge cakes, hot drinks, and moon cakes. Like many bakeries in Chinatown, it's a quick service place with no seating. The line sometimes goes out the door because it's a small location.
We went to watch our nephews performance at the Chinese theatre across the street and while waiting outside we spotted this place because of the long line. We got to use so we crossed the street going towards the Bakery. We decided to wait in line even when it's long since we're too early for the show anyway. We got their hot dog, which was fresh from the oven. We got the paper cake, one yolk, moon, cake, preserve egg cake I forgot the green sponge cake what is called. There was only one person selling so it really took a while. We were standing in line for like half an hour or more I think. Everything is good. It's just the place is really small and it's only a takeout place. There's nowhere to sit and eat inside. They also serve coffee and tea. I definitely recommend this, but you have to be patient to wait in line. The price is reasonable and the service is actually fast but the parking as you know is really challenging in Chinatown so you would have to park inside the parking garage where you have to pay.
Found out this place had egg white tarts, which I had never tried before, so I was intrigued. We had to wait around 10-15 minutes for a fresh batch to finish baking. The shop itself is pretty small and more of a grab and go spot with no seating available. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed because the tart tasted pretty similar to a regular egg tart, and I wasn't a fan of the tart shell.
Yummy Bakery and Cafe is one of the best Asian Bakery shop in San Francisco. Their egg white tarts are so yummy, the crust was buttery and flaky with a nice golden edge, and the filling had that smooth silky egg-white custard texture that's lightly sweet. It held together well and felt fresh, especially when eaten right away. If you are into Hong Kong-Style or Cantonese-Style Bakery treats, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommended!
This small Asian bakery in SF has all my favorite items :) They have all the soft buns with taro and red bean filling, and even my favorite pork floss roll. They are known for their "egg white" tart too which someone had recommended to us. We got a variety of fresh items - I tried the egg tart and the lotus paste yolk moon cake and both were marvelous. Takeout only obviously! read more

White egg tart first timer here! A line twenty deep seemed the norm during hours of operation. Around 4pm Saturday, they were making a fresh batch of egg tarts: a handful of us were told "ten minutes" for half an hour or so. We patiently waited and were rewarded with fresh out of the oven, warm egg tarts! I'm curious what the calorie difference is for a white vs yellow egg tart, although when you're eating an egg tart I guess the last thing on your mind is the calories. Anyway, as I'd expect, the white was slightly firmer in texture and less "silky" than the yellow. Both had a short, flakey crust. I prefer the richer, OG yellow. We also got a pineapple and coconut bun here. Pretty standard stuff. Rumor has it one of the bakers from Golden Gate bakery moonlights here? read more
Checked out Yummy Bakery on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! Located at the edge of Chinatown, this local favorite can sometimes boast long lines. I had to wait a few minutes for my egg tarts since they were making a fresh batch -- always a good sign. - Egg Tarts -- cookie-style pie crust rather than the traditional flaky shell; golden, buttery, and the standout item here - Egg White Tarts -- milky and sweet with a lighter, subtler flavor than the yolk version; smooth and delicate pastry Service is fast unless you catch them mid-batch, and the space can get a little cramped while you wait since it's a small local shop. Definitely a to-go only spot, but worth the stop. Highly recommend trying both their egg tarts and egg white tarts fresh out of the oven! read more
I came here for the viral eggwhite custard egg tart aka "daahn taat" because it's one of my favorite sweet treat. You can get this at any Asian bakeries and dim sum restaurant. The custard was pretty good - might be a tiny bit on the sweeter side. I was disappointed that it was a cookie texture crust instead of the layered crust. IYKYK! It's still very good. Would I come back again for this, probably not. I also bought a couple of buns and cakes and it was just standard. It's narrow small shop with many options and people. It can be overwhelming to decide what to get. Plan ahead! read more
I always enjoy buying egg tarts and buns here when I go to Chinatown. The lady behind the counter is friendly. I stop by to pick up some egg tarts for my staff and a few pork buns. Most people come here for takeout. I can always find some delicious bakery items from them. read more
Food: Pork Floss Bun (8/10) - soft, oily, fresh, fluffy, savory bakery option! it's a pretty good size and i loved the green onions on it too. Green Tea Red Bean Bun (7/10) - only a hint of green tea flavor and the bread is a bit dry but the red bean is tasty. pretty decently sized bun too Service: Pretty quick and easy ordering process at the counter. Ambiance: A bakery stop in San Francisco chinatown. Has simple, no-frills vibe that feels very local and authentic to Chinatown. The space is small but cozy, with glass cases full of fresh pastries that make it easy to grab and go. It has that hidden-gem charm where you feel like you've stumbled on a neighborhood favorite. read more
This is THE spot for your Asian pastries. It's such a cute little store and the staff is always hustling. Sometimes long lines accumulate but it goes super fast. I've placed several pre-orders from this place for company breakfasts and they're always ready and well packaged when I arrive. Super easy and efficient process. The pastries and egg tarts are all so fresh and delicious. I do love that there is an egg white tart option. Not a very popular option at work because the regular egg tarts is where it's at! My favorite pastries are the shredded pork buns and pineapple buns. This place never disappoints and I'd highly recommend to anyone searching for some authentic pastries! read more

Such a great find! There was a line on the sidewalk when we got there, but it moved pretty fast. Very delicious buns and egg tarts - we ordered some for the road too. A great selection of desserts and pastries and they kept bringing more trays out to restock the inventory they were flying through. Although small, the space had enough room for a crowd and the staff was very efficient with the ordering process. You should stop by for a treat if you're in the Chinatown area! read more
Want the best bakery in Chinatown? If you do, this is it. The best rolls and baked goods in Chinatown. It's off Kearny so really easy to get to. Very good here...not even close. Service? You're at a bakery...don't expect much. Ambience? You're at a Chinatown bakery...don't expect much. Baked goods? The best. read more

We stopped by to get some baked goods, like bread and egg tarts. They have a large selection, and we picked up about ten pieces of bread and a couple of freshly made egg tarts. All of their baked goods were excellent. It's a great place to find Asian-style pastries. Just watch out for the line--several times when we stopped by, there was a long wait. This place is definitely becoming one of our go-to Asian bakeries. Yummy! read more

I came at the end of the day around 6:45pm. They still had some baked goods but the white egg custard tart was all gone. We got the yellow egg tart, it was really good and my friend liked the pineapple bun. We would definitely get both items again and come back. read more

Fresh milk bread tasted so soft & pillowy! Liked how the dough was slightly sweet. I liked the green onion roll but wish it had slightly more green onion flavor. I came here on a food tour stop and we also got to try the char siu bun which was also good but I didn't like how the filling was a bit congealed/fatty inside. Would come back to try other offerings! read more

Fantastic prices on traditional Chinese pastries. Small place to pop in and leave with delicious and affordable pastries and meat filled buns (no seating). Good luck with parking. read more
When you're in SF, one of the things you have to try is an egg tart. Out of all the shops in Chinatown, this is my favorite spot for them. Not too sweet and with a solid crust, the egg tarts are kept in an oven so they'll be hot and fresh. Not only can you get regular egg tarts, they also have a unique egg white tart which tastes lighter than its classic counterpart. In addition to egg tarts, they also have traditional pastries like pineapple and custard buns. If you're looking for desserts or just a quick breakfast, this is the place to go. read more
